Obamacare and mental health

"Obamacare has been a huge help for mental health care," according to Alan B. Miller, CEO and Chairman of Universal Health Services. "This year, an estimated 3.7 million Americans with significant mental illnesses now have coverage and access to care through the insurance exchanges or extended Medicaid — they have moved from the shadows and into needed treatment." A sign that something is being done about this problem as has been demanded by the NRA and other gun rights organizations and supporters.

It's now time for these same people to come to grips with and support responsible gun legislation like background checks, banning assault weapons, closing the gun show loophole and halting gun straw purchases. Time to put your common sense to where your mouth is.

George W. Bush was not a legitimately elected President in 2000

Florida laws under the supervision of Sec. of State Katherine Harris, and supported by then Governor Jeb Bush, wrongly disenfranchised thousands of otherwise eligible voters that eventually swayed the election in favor of George W. Bush. The 2000 election led the way for other states controlled by Republicans to pick up on the illegal tactics used in Florida and prevent valid Democratic voters from going to the polls all over the country. An excellent article here from The Nation.
